Did you get any unusual Christmas Presents?

[Omega]

Just where is St Pauls Cathedral :huh:

My hubby was given by his mum a "build you own model of St Pauls Cathedral" it even has working LED street lamps :lol:

He has just taken it out of the box to start, it is made of card .......... however when I asked him what a particular piece of paper was (it was a picture of lanscaped green grass and blue sky with not another building in site) he said it was the background of the model :o

It seems that the completed model will stand on it own box with working led street lights and the background will be this lovely blue sky and green grass hillside/countryside picture :lol: not another building in sight :rolleyes:

The address of the company who make these models is a Vietnamese company :errrm: so perhaps they are confused ................... very intriguing.

Website that shows all models of buildings around the world is http://www.ida3d.com if you want to see what he could have got instead :lol:

I had a shiatsu massage mat, but all the instructions are in Japanese.:lol:
It has an electric motor but I can't programme it. :lol: Makes a good car seat though.

I got a "Dirty Dancing in your pocket"

It is a keyring and when you press the buttons it says sayings out of the film like "Nobody puts Baby in a corner!"

Brilliant! :)

Ok here's the end result. St Pauls Cathedral model ;) Took hubby all of this afternoon and part of the evening to finish. It does have lights inside run by batteries but I cannot upload that photo cos it exceeds my quota :( :huh:

Trouble is I now have to email the company because there are extras missing are missing out of the box, ie the trees, the lamp posts, the people and a car!!!

It's very nice though,O :)
I'm just glad it's not me who is going to have to dust it :lol:

Funny sp thats exactly what I said last night to him :lol: In fact I called it "another dust collector" :( However I came up with what I thought was a good idea and that was seeing as his mother had given it to him to build he should give it to her fully complete as a pressie :yes: The other suggestion was .... the garage :lol:
